Show HN: I built a real-time AI powered app that helps you cheat in interviews
Hi HN In my spare time I've been experimenting with real-time speech to text and AI. Originally I started building something to help with general meetings, and it works great for that, but now I've added an "Answers" section designed to answer direct interview questions. This seems to work particularly well for technical interview questions. Hope it helps! Tom

Construction Industry Database
The construction industry is a mess. It's still old-school based on personal relationships. You have to know someone to get it done.
That needs to change.
Right now, if you're starting a business, let's say a restaurant, there is no place you can go that will provide you with all of the information you need to get started.
I'm envisioning a comprehensive platform called BuildBase™ that would revolutionize the way businesses, particularly new ones, navigate the construction industry. Indeed, creating a centralized database augmented by AI could significantly streamline the process of starting and managing construction-related aspects of a business.
Such a platform could offer several key features:
Centralized Directory: A complete, searchable database of professionals across the construction industry, including architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers. Users could search by specialization, location, ratings, and other relevant filters.
Project Management Tools: Integration of project management functionalities that allow users to plan, execute, and monitor construction projects directly through the platform. This could include timeline management, budget tracking, and collaboration tools.
Regulatory and Permit Guidance: A resource section that provides up-to-date information on zoning laws, permits, and other regulatory requirements specific to different regions and types of construction projects.
AI-Powered Matchmaking: Using AI algorithms to match projects with the most suitable professionals based on project specifications, budget, location, and previous client reviews.
Virtual Consultations: Incorporating features for virtual meetings and consultations with professionals, which can help in faster decision-making and maintaining project momentum.
Feedback and Rating System: A robust system for feedback and ratings that helps maintain high standards within the network and assists users in making informed choices based on past project outcomes.
By removing the necessity to rely solely on personal connections and making information transparent and accessible, such a platform could democratize access to construction services, potentially leading to more competitive pricing, higher quality work, and greater innovation in the industry. What do you think of these ideas? Would they meet the needs you see in the current market?

Ask HN: Where do you all go for state of the art ideas on growing mobile apps?
What's state of the art these days for growing a mobile app? Not building them, just the user retention and growth stuff.
Books seemed to have abandoned even addressing this concept like a decade ago :) I know there's the guy who sold the high school crush apps on Twitter whose 10gs a month for his private coaching thing. His name escapes me at the moment.
But what else are you all watching, reading, studying on the regular to grow a mobile app and keep people coming back to them.
